Sweet potato (shakarkandi) steams soft and mashes easily. A good early vegetable on its own.
What you need • A small piece of sweet potato, peeled • Water for steaming
How to make it
- Chop into cubes.
- Steam until very soft (about 12–15 minutes).
- Mash until smooth. Add a little cooking water if needed.
- Cool to lukewarm and serve.
A little tip: No sugar or jaggery. Soft sticks work later for self-feeding once textures move on.
